Amstrad launches videophone

By LanceW

Hmmm....Proprietary video conferencing, can't say I like the concept. Plus presumably is over POTS so quality will be poor. But perhaps the price £99 will make it a viable prospect?

September 7, 2004Perl Modules

By LanceW

Today whilst working on a online Perl application I decided to move all my nasty code into a nice Perl module. (seeing as this is for a client and all)This Site turned out to be a handy little page for reminding me what it was all about. (I haven't really spent much time on Perl module work lately)

September 2, 2004SME SERVER

By LanceW

As a confirmed anti-MS person, it was a pleasure to find a usefull userfriendly replacement server option in SME Server.www.contribs.org is the home of this open source linux distro. (previously closed source through Mitel) It provides a solid easy to install easy to configure easy to manage server solution for home and SME users.It has some issues in terms of development, namely having gone OS development has stalled, but there is a strong user base and it all seems to be progressing well.

August 26, 2004SP2torrent.com interview

By LanceW

AN interview with the people behind the sp2torrent websiate that released the latest WIndows XP patch well before MS deemed us all worthy of protecting ourselves from the vulnerabilities in their code!

Much like JuJitsu, Kung Fu, Karate, Aikido and other marial arts, Judo is an effective and powerful self defence. It does not however incorporate any kicks or punches. In Judo throws are used along with ground fighting techniques including arm locks, strangles, chokes and pinning techniques.

Judo in Europe is strong, and has been so historically for a long time. Specifically, France and Germany, along with the former Soviet Block countries. European Judo has been instrumental in the progress and history of Judo. The formation of the European Judo Union (EJU) was the for runner to the International Judo Federation (IJF) and is a major force in modern Judo.
